I wouldn't by Michelins I would buy Michelin's other brand BFG for $150 and then stack a $100 Costco discount on that. The 17" BFG tires I recently put on my TDI were $433 installed with lifetime flat repairs.
So you got the big brake german TDI?

15" rims are going the way of dinosaurs at least for light trucks. Hard to get cheap 31x10x 15 6 ply anymore. 245 x75r 15 maybe.
